New York – May 11, 2012 –Major League Gaming (MLG), the world’s largest competitive video game league, and the Korean eSports Association (KeSPA), announced today an exclusive multi-year global partnership that will bridge the Western and Korean StarCraft worlds. As part of the collaboration, KeSPA players will compete in MLG events—marking the first time in eSports history that KeSPA players will participate in video game tournaments in the United States.
The elephants are here. gg room. I hope "exclusive" does not mean they cant participate in other tourneys like ipl/iem/dh, it's going to be pretty hurtful to have a gsl vs kespa thing going on.
It isnt the first time though, they've competed in wcg, and blizzcon tourneys.

I see only good things emerging from this. Don't let the traditional Kespa stigma cloud your opinion! Regard this as a new venture by a new organisation and understand that Korea needs this for SC2 to continue growing.

I don't completely agree with this because it seems like this partnership means that the BW pros will not appear in any other non-korean tournaments other than MLG.
